This condition he ascribed to proper regulation of the fishery, such as weekly clese seasons, etc. Mr. Payne gave figures for the total pack on the Columbia River each year from 187G to 1938. Robert Hanna stated that he had paeked-aalmon oa the Columbia River from 1881 to-185 and there were no traps then. Mr. Payne replied that he knew per sonally that traps had been operated there for 19 years. He marvelled that the fishing on that river held up so well but, nevertheless, inspite of traps, it was a fact. In answer to a question by Judge Ellis, Mr. Payne stated that hfs company had more fish- mony which had been, presented on the CoIumbla IlJver to. yesterday afternoon in favor of, w gw aUhputfh fish traps by R.

Conservative Member for Winnipeg Would Abolish! Government House There WINNIPEG, April 19. Many members of the Manitoba legislature, including Conservatives, were greatly surprised last night when John T. Haig, Conservative of Winnipeg, advocated the abolishment of Government House and declared that the functions of the lieutenant-governorf should be discharged by the chief justice of the province. Great Britain gets along very well with one Government House and there surely must be something wrong, he said, with loyalty in Canada if it required 10 Government Houses, one for each million population, to sustain it.

Broken and tired by the failure of the reparations conference to arrive at a satisfactory settlement, Lord Revelstoke, distinguished British banker, died this morning from heart failure, aged 06. Intimates said that the famous Britisher, who shares with Sir Josiah Stamp the leadership of the British delegation, had been under intense strain throughout yesterday's session of the sub-committee. At this session the German delegation refused to compromise with the allies, making imminent adjournment and failure of the conference. The plenary session, which was to have heard Lord Revelstoke's report today on the breakdown of the negotiations, convened and immediately adjourned. LONDON. Anril 19.
